Ed2 is Miniamino on his way to Southampton?

{Ed002's Note - Takumi Minamino (AM) Sevilla are keen to take Minamino to replace Vazquez but would want a loan to buy. Southanpton are keen to keep him but again it may well be a loan to buy they are looking for. Liverpool are looking for sales not loans but may well price him out of a sale to Southampton.}

Ed2 thanks once again for your information, last year you said that Klopp held interest in Insigne, could that be revisited if one of the front three moves on?

{Ed002's Note - He did indeed have an interest but Jota was added so I would think that interest has gone completely.}

guessing if these clubs want these players then they can simply pay the fee. I recall that is along the lines of what we have needed to do to buy players. seems fair.

Jadon why is it every time we price a player it’s to high buy when we go in for a player they can set the fee at any price and people on here are we know what the price is just pay it.

If Liverpool see the price as too high then, they too can walk away. I would be pretty sure this has happened on several occasions. Remember the deals that go thru are the ones the club are happy to pay.
It seems that other clubs aren't happy to pay the prices for Liverpool "fringe" players but we also have sold players and got good and sometimes great money for them such as Brewster and Coutinho.

There’s two sides to this in my opinion;

The players we are after don’t want to be sold by clubs, so we either pay want they want, try and negotiate or move on.

For us, we have players we want to sell that our surplus to requirements. There will be a finite amount of interest and there will be a market rate to some extent for them. If we price over the market rate the buying club will just move on. Just like Salah was 4th choice from memory, If we push enough interest away we will be left with someone that won’t play, we pay their wages and their value will depreciate moving forward.

Everyone wants to sell at the highest price, but there is a balance that is the same across all business. For instance you have a car you value at £5k but others similar go for £4.5k. You either hope someone wants your car at your price or bring it down in line with others because you want it sold.

Yeh but these players we wanted to sell are WANTED by these other teams because they would improve their 1st eleven.

But there's probably plenty of others that'll do the same to strengthen their 11.

I'll use origi as an example.

There's a team interested and needs a focal point as a striker and has 2 options, origi being their first choice. They approach Liverpool and ask the cost and we say £20m (purely hypothetical) and their second choice, who according to their stats and scouting department is very similar at £10m, which one do you buy? This also takes a way a prospective buyer and limits our options to sell further.

It's not fifa where you list them for sale and you have 15 buyers willing to buy them for the price you want.

As I say we all want the most money for our players, so do Liverpool. But usually it'll be the buyer in this instance that holds the cards. As they know we want to sell and as soon as you know that, you have a strong negotiating hand.

Maybe the club looking for £10m should sack their technical director.
